We have a printer down!

My cat knocked over my HP Deskjet 3320 and I haven't turned it on since.  What should I do first to get it running again?  It fell about 5 feet to the floor by the way.  nothing appears loose or broken from my eye's view.

I will give details of what happens when I get back from this weekend, thank you for being patient!
I'm such a slacker...I have finals coming up, I will try to get to this printer...i've put it off longer than this question has been open...sorry for the inconvenience, doing my best, pretty busy around this time, school ending, finals...I'll get it done before may!
hdhondt and David523,

I turned it on and the green light kept blinking before and after I installed the drivers.  I put some paper in the printer and printed a test page.  The light continued to blink, nothing happend.  I took the ink cartridges out and reseated both of them and pressed the printer button.  The cartridge carry did some moving around, but no printing.  I took both cartridges out and looked at them, they looked pretty shookin up and the color was all clumped around the distributor on both of them.

I went to Staples and just bought a black ink and popped it in there by itself, ran a test print page, and bam out of the printer faster than toast.  Thank you so much for the patience, I'm happy I have my deskjet back, for $25 its still a champ!
